The julia language loads libraries at run time by using the .so filename. We work around this in the julia package by symlinking the needed sonames into %{_libdir}/julia/, e.g.: for lib in arpack cholmod dSFMT git2 fftw3_threads gmp mprf openlibm openspecfun pcr2-8 umfpack do soname=$(objdump -p %{_libdir}/lib${lib}.so | awk '$1 == "SONAME" { print $2}') ln -s ../${soname} %{buildroot}%{_libdir}/julia/lib${lib}.so done Now we want to automatically generate the needed rpm requires, e.g.: libarpack.so.2()(64bit) What I came up with is a rpm-julia-hooks package that julia would BR that would use rpm fileattrs to generate these. This feels a bit klunky having a separate package just to do this task. Does anyone else have any ideas? -- Orion Poplawski Technical Manager 303-415-9701 x222 NWRA, Boulder/CoRA Office FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane orion@xxxxxxxx Boulder, CO 80301 http://www.nwra.com -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
